    The mill complex was built sometime after 1791. It belonged to Rimburg Castle and was part of a large mill complex with two water wheels (undershot) that was located on both banks of the Worm. The main building, house and farm were on the right bank and another mill building on the left bank. There were all kinds of distribution sluices to use the water.
